Convey to your comrades my thanks
for this demonstration, which has AZ

has given me great pleasure TO
hear the views prevalent in
the universities, which 30 greatly con.
tributed 70 the joyful issue OF the
last election. The dissolution OF the
Reichstlg was d flicult and disagreC-
able step 10 take, but the new cleo
tions, which have justified il and
which have given great pleasure, were
largely due to the influence Of the
Of Northern and Southern
Germany and to the spirit maDiiesting
your ranks. In these facts l sec
for the future. | hope you
will remain true to such views through.
out your later Careers.
